I think that after nearly thirty-three years, the joints of my body have finally organized, unionized and held a meeting.The minutes of that meeting were recently sent to my brain via my spinal column, and below are a few excerpts:
Lower Back: "Okay everyone, lets get this meeting to order. There is a draft of a resolution on floor right now sponsored by myself, Right Knee, Left Shoulder and Right Elbow. Right Knee, would you care to sum up the resolution for us?"
Right Knee: "Sure thing L.B.! Basically the situation we have here in Tincan's body is that a few of us joints bear the responsibility for all the pain that gets experienced, and, well, frankly we think that the rest of the joints of the body should start pulling their weight and share in some of the pain."
Left Shoulder: "That's right man, preach it!"
Right Elbow: "You tell 'em Right Knee!"
Right Knee: "All right fellows, simmer down. Where was I? Oh right, a schedule. What we propose is that every joint be scheduled for a little pain every day on a rotating basis, thus giving a few of us some needed (no pun intended) down time."
Left Hip: "But won't Tincan be suspicious when he wakes up with aches and pains in places where he's never had them beore?"
Right Knee: "Well, we've considered that, and we came to the conclusion that since the brain is also going on this body, this is the perfect time to act. Tincan won't know what's going on."Lower Back: "We know it's a bit of a gamble, but we feel that the current situation can't go on like this."
Left Shoulder: "Yeah, I've been in pain since the great soccer injury of '93!"
Right Wrist: "Hey, if this resolution passes, who's scheduled for pain tomorrow?"
Right Knee: "Let's see here, it says that Left Big Toe is the first one up to bat."
Right Ankle: "Hey, Tincan's birthday is coming up soon. We should do something special. Who's on duty that day?"
Right Knee: "That would be...let me just flip the page here...okay, here it is, both Thumbs!"
Thumbs: "Oh boy!"
Lower Back: "So that's the vote before us folks. Are we going to be a team here or what? "Who votes "yes" on Resolution O.U.C.H.?"
All joints in unison: "Aye!"
I can't wait for my birthday next month.Does anyone have any Motrin?
